To the Editors of the Democrat In perusing the columns of the Dkmockat, in an issue of a few weeks past, we noticed an invitation extended to the many readers of your paper for communications. Never before having attempted to trouble you with articles or letters, we ask you to give place in your columns to the following brief account of the closing exercises of Mr. E. E. Watts' school, on June Sth, taught at what is known as the Eureka school house, near Duncan's mill. Mr. Watts is one of Nodaway county's efficient and successful teachers. By an invitation from the directors of Eureka, he resolved to go into Andrew ami try his luck among the intelligent citizens of our border county. The weather being warm and tho distance we had to ride near seven miles, we did not ar rive at the school house until the morning exercises had been partly gone through with, but were iu time to hear some of the forenoon reciti- tions, which consisted of reviews in arithmetic, reading, spelling, etc.; all of which were deserving of the high est praise. Then followed thmotinteresting part of the day's performance to us. Mr. and Mrs. Alex Ban chops and Mr. and . MrsJacob Funk, of Wis-cousin, are visiting their children here, Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

Why it is the Paper of the People. The following is an extract from the verj- able oration delivered by Col. W. F. Switrler bclore the con vention of the editors of Missouri re cently held at Macon City. Wo ask its reading simply as an act of justice to the country press : I am firmly persuaded that the perpetuity of "our free institutions in the spirit and form designed by our ancestors institutions founded on the great central truth of equal rights to all and exclusive privileges to none, depends in no small degree upon the vigorous existence and fidelity of the country press. Wealth and power to be conservative must be ditlused ; and the same is trud of learning aud intelligence. Aboli.h the country press, then, ami confide the control of the newspapers of every class to the cities alone, and I undertake to affirm it would not be long before these centers of wealth and population would wield through the powerful agency of the press the scepter of legislation municipal, state and federal ; and finally subsidize the judiciary itself, to the utter destruction of the rights, interests and liberties of the peoplo of the rural districts. The country papers, therefore, aro the paper cf the peoplo. They are publisiied in their midst, and by those who understand, or ought to understand their wants, and who sympathize with them in all their efforts at advancement. Liable to the same disaster and sharing tho same prosicnty or adversity ani mated in short by a common pur pose and linked together by a com mon fortune, new powers or utterance are imparted to the country Red Front Restaurant.

Never before having attempted to trouble you with articles or letters, we ask you to give place in your columns to the following brief account of the closing exercises of Mr. E. E. Watts' school, on June Sth, taught at what is known as the Eureka school house, near Duncan's mill. Mr. Watts is one of Nodaway county's efficient and successful teachers. By an invitation from the directors of Eureka, he resolved to go into Andrew ami try his luck among the intelligent citizens of our border county. The weather being warm and tho distance we had to ride near seven miles, we did not ar rive at the school house until the morning exercises had been partly gone through with, but were iu time to hear some of the forenoon reciti- tions, which consisted of reviews in arithmetic, reading, spelling, etc.; all of which were deserving of the high est praise.

Switrler bclore the con vention of the editors of Missouri re cently held at Macon City. Wo ask its reading simply as an act of justice to the country press : I am firmly persuaded that the perpetuity of "our free institutions in the spirit and form designed by our ancestors institutions founded on the great central truth of equal rights to all and exclusive privileges to none, depends in no small degree upon the vigorous existence and fidelity of the country press. Wealth and power to be conservative must be ditlused ; and the same is trud of learning aud intelligence. Aboli.h the country press, then, ami confide the control of the newspapers of every class to the cities alone, and I undertake to affirm it would not be long before these centers of wealth and population would wield through the powerful agency of the press the scepter of legislation municipal, state and federal ; and finally subsidize the judiciary itself, to the utter destruction of the rights, interests and liberties of the peoplo of the rural districts. The country papers, therefore, aro the paper cf the peoplo. They are publisiied in their midst, and by those who understand, or ought to understand their wants, and who sympathize with them in all their efforts at advancement.

As a medium forndvertising it otlrrs facilities which are .unsurpassed within the sphere of Its circulation. Advertisements of sales, court publications and orders, and bank, school and church notices ni-pear in it. And by it the farmer, the laborer and the mechanic become acquainted with tho goods and wares of the tradesman ; they learn where they can purchase what they desire and at tho lowest price that is, provided, always, the tradesman ha enterprise enough to advertise his wares. However wide-awake ainl accurate soever country newspapers may be; however self-sacrificing ami ready In season and out of season to advance every enterprise calculnU-d to promote the good of their respective localities, there will be f-und many farmers, merchants, traders and pro fessional men who will argue that the city weeklies are cheaper ami letter than the couutry papers, be cause they give more reading matter for the same money or lets.
